Batman V Superman: Ranking The Performances From Worst To Best
4. Gal Gadot - Wonder Woman
Gal Gadot was deemed to be a rather controversial choice for the role of Wonder Woman, and - despite talking in a questionable Middle-Eastern accent, which doesn't seem all that character-appropriate - she comes out of Batman v Superman relatively unscathed. As in: you're gonna be genuinely rooting for her, guys. Gadot isn't given that much to do, to be honest, save for slink about in revealing cocktail dresses and sit down at a computer for a bit, but when she's on-screen she oozes sex appeal and more than holds her own when she's paired up later with Batman and Superman for that huge final battle that was ruined for everyone in the trailers. It's hard to say for sure whether Gadot will be able to carry a movie all on her own, of course, because she only has about 6 minutes of screen-time and very little dialogue, but considering that there was a sizeable backlash over her being cast as Diana Price, her turn as the iconic character here is actually pretty reassuring.
